Not only are the scammers doing the fake accounts that say "send .02 BTC and get triple" but apparently now they are either buying verified accounts or hacking them and changing the names and pictures to cryptocurrency people. Now it can actually be hard to tell if someone is scamming.

Really shitty that this is happening. Be careful everyone
I think the idea of earning bitcoin quickly just by sending to an unknown address is quite shady already. As bitcoin is gaining popularity in the mainstream news it is now treated as an asses thus if you value your bitcoin it would be under your own decision to send it to an unknown wallet. We should never think that earning bitcoin so quickly is the best way to multiply it. I feel for those who fall into this kinds of scam. Scammers like these only arise if there are people that are willing to be fooled.
